Recently, body paint art has been very popular in magazine photo shoots, advertising, and even as a medium to raise social awareness about rainforests.
Trend Hunter has been tracking many trends and innovations involving the various uses of body paint. Here we bring you a collection of delectable body paint usage; from the hotness of Paris Hilton wearing only gold body paint and the infamous Sports Illustrated Body Paint spread, to the artistic painting of shoes directly on skin.
The trends are divided into four categories, the sexy, the artistic, the weird and the painted hands/ fingers.
